Social Infractructure Building
Social Infrastructure Building
 
It is the establishment and strengthening  of Marginalized Rural Sectors and Peoples (MRSP) organizations and institutions as instruments to empower themselves politically, economically, and culturally.

The meaningful participation of the MRSP should be ensured and integrated in all aspects and phases of development work.   Sustainable MRSP propelled development work lies on the formation and strengthening of dynamic and truly accountable MRSP organizations. This refers to an organized core that shall lead and hasten the process of relative transformation in the economic, political, and socio-cultural dimensions.
Social Infrastructure Building is directly geared towards the establishment and capability building of the community development council, an organization of organizations at the community level.   The CDC shall actively participate in community resource management;  claim-taking, policy-engagement, and the budgeting processes.  As such, our CDC actually have two faces:
  1. As an entity for community resource management, the CDC shall actively engaged in the selection processes to become a member of the barangay development council.  This constitutionally mandated council is being re-organized every three years at the beginning of the three year term of locally elected municipal and provincial officials.
  2. In lieu of its engagement with government, the CDC shall become the local  Kasama Ka Chapter.  It shall engage government in claim-taking initiatives, accessing of support services and budgetary requirements for the BDPs; and shall directly participate in policy dialogues.
